Default Charger issues

Weird problem, I listen to my bikes radio when I am working in the garage. I had to buy a new trickle charger and now the radio reception is poor. When I used my old Schumacer charger never an issue. Since I bought the Black & Decker charger I get no reception? If I unplug the charger everthing is fine. Any ideas? Thx

Don't run your bike radio long term, does not matter what you use to charge. The system isn't designed for that.

Otherwise, it has to do with different class switching power supplies.

Buy a portable radio.
